Prasat Muang Tam

Prasat Muang Tam lies about 8km from Prasat Phanom Rung on the plains below. This temple is thought to have been the centre of a busy Khmer city - the main urban area of the region. The impeccably proportioned entrances to the towers and outer gardens, together with four attractive L-shaped ponds, full of crimson water-lilies, makes the whole scene extremely pleasing to the eye. Some of the most remarkable sights at Prasat Muang are the host of finely carved lintels, which were fashioned some 1,000 years ago and some are thought to be even better than those at Prasat Phanom Rung. Both sites date back to the ninth century, but successive kings have added to them during the ensuing two hundred years, so much of what you see today dates from the 11th century.
